Maison Mona di Orio Vanille is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Mona di Orio. Vanille opens with Bitter Orange, Petitgrain, Clove, and Rum, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Guaiac Wood, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Vanilla. Maison Mona di Orio's Vanille carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is not your average vanilla. Mona di Orio's Vanille is a divisive masterpiece of dry, smoky spice and boozy woods that demands attention, but definitely sniff before you splurge.

About

It kicks off with a spirited blend of bitter orange, sharp petitgrain, and a hefty punch of spiced rum and clove. This isn't a sweet treat; it builds to a complex heart of vetiver, ylang-ylang, and rich guaiac and sandalwood, evolving into a smoky, opulent base of leather, amber, and a dry, unsweetened vanilla pod, rounded by tolu balsam and tonka bean.
